I really want this to be true. I’ve been vaccinated against almost everything. Yellow fever, JEV, rabies, mpox, etc…I’m into immunization. I just need to figure out how to become a human wifi hotspot and my devices will never be offline again.

Recommending a vaccine doesn’t just mean expressing an opinion; the Affordable Care Act requires that vaccines recommended by ACIP must be covered by most private insurance and Medicaid expansion plans without any cost sharing. That means no deductible and no copay.
Being asked by reporters to respond to this announcement. Here are my thoughts: 👇🏽 The decision to remove the COVID-19 vaccine from the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women raises significant concerns, as it overlooks both available

Honestly amazed- and alarmed- at how confidently people state misinformation that is easily disproven with a 5 second Google search (and how many likes they get). Facts are critical. 1) This outbreak began in a Mennonite population. Last I checked, Mennonites aren’t pouring in
Officially the first death due to lack of vaccination on RFK Jr’s watch. A child. 100% preventable. I’m not blaming him, but I do think it’s reasonable for Americans to expect their HHS Secretary to make a statement about what he’s going to do to protect our kids moving forward.
